I saw a similar question asked on a talk show...the host said he'd choose his wife...the lady he chose, the reason they have children and the one he made promises to. Though we all know we would help our children as that's what both parents would want.

I'd tell the child to hang on to the partner, then rescue the partner.

Technically I'm rescuing the partner and the partner is rescuing the child

By choosing one you are condemning one to death. That death would be your responsibility.

Logically then one response would be to do nothing.

There is an old biker version of this.

You are in a room with three other people.

The room is 12 foot square, and all of you are chained by the neck in each corner on a 3 foot chain.

The other three people are;

The guy who mugged your mum

The guy who raped your girlfriend

The guy who stole your bike

You have a gun with two bullets.

What do you do?

The correct "biker" answer was

Shoot the guy who stole your bike, twice. ;*)

"Why do I need to rescue one of them?

The insurance will only pay out if 2 people witness the accident "

Who gives a damn about the insurance payout-rescue them both and screw the cash. Lives are more important than money

My child without a seconds doubt.

Howvwer, that does not means i feel a childs life is worth more than an adults, or i would always rescuse a chil over an adult, it is simply that MY child is the person in the world most important to me.

As a mother, it would have to be the child I would choose. Pragmatically, it would also be the child - it would require less food and so we would both have a better chance of surviving. And, in terms of strength, the child would win again - I probably would stand more chance of hauling a child back into a boat than an adult.

It won't happen as I do not have kids!

However, if both the cat and the dog are in the water, I would rescue the cat first as the dog is a better swimmer.

None of the passengers on the boat would be onboard without a life jacket in the first place and my child certaintly would not be left unsupervised at any time! so therefore Hopefully i would not have put myself in the position to have to choose who to save!

how deep is the water? is the partner wearing concrete wellies? Is the child prepared to look after me when i get old? Which one did i push first? on a serious note the child every time. And i am thinking the partner would help and insist on saving the child.

I have two cats. I'd save the black tabby as she's not a great swimmer. The fluffy ginger one has already fallen off my boat three times and manages to get back on unaided

CHild every time without question, the bond between parents and children is something different to that between partners, a tougher choice would be if you have 2 kids and both were in the water which one would you save?

Apparently the logical answer is to save the partner as they were someone you selected and you can have more sprogs .

The emotional answer is to save the kid as you are a protector.

The test says you should choose the partner. I don't have kids, so its easy for me. If it was based on saving my ex and her daughter.. I would save the ex everytime and sail off before the kid could clamber aboard!

I think it depends on more than that... how much food you have, how long you will be on the boat, how big the icebox is and is it just one of those little gas stoves.

A child would be easier to cook but wouldn't last as long as an adult.

I think i can honestly say if i left my own child to die i would never have any more children, you cant replace a child and i wouldnt see myself fit to bring another child into this world after i had let my last one die when i could have saved them

If i tried and failed i would have to accept i did my best but to leave them to die because i favoured saving someone else over them i could never live with myself

Theres noones life i value over my children, my children are forever and the only people in my life who will always be there

you said two people had to witness it and implied only enough room in raft for two so if I save both two of them will witness it and then insurance still pays out.

but if you insist ill save my child.

Why would it be a single male? I am sure both sexes are equally logical and able to compile tests
